What is the best mountain bike for recreational purposes, fitness and exercise that will not cost too much? Are you sure you want an actual mountain bike? Are you planning on riding down hills and rough trails, or just riding around your neighborhood for exercise? The reason I ask is that a real mountain bike is much harder to ride on streets than a road bike, since the tires have much higher rolling resistance. For example, I get tired riding my old Trek 820 circa 1993 after a mile, but can easily go 6-7 on my Trek 7.3 road/fitness/commuter bike. If you need a bike that can be comfortably ridden on both street and unpaved bike path, look into cyclocross models or hybrids with smaller tires. If you are sticking to paved streets, take a look at the bikes made by Specialized or Trek that have straight handlbars like a mountain bike, but have road tires and a nice light-weight frame. Good luck! look into the line of Trek bikes. they are good, reliable bikes and if you go hard tail, you can spend less than $1000 and get a great ride that will last for years. http://www2.trekbikes.com/bikes/subcateg... for you, look at the 3700 through the 6500. all are under $1000. |
